1 Volunteer Geographic Information: How Crowdsourced Data is Helping to Map the Spread of Brown Marmorated Stink Bug Noel Hahn, Alex Kaufman, George Hamilton Department of Entomology Rutgers University

2 Background Brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) Major agricultural pest Nuisance pest Citizen science/crowd-sourced data Mapping

3 Background Brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) Major agricultural pest Nuisance pest Citizen science/crowd-sourced data Mapping

4 Citizen Science/Crowd-sourcing The collection and analysis of data relating to the natural world by members of the general public, typically as part of a collaborative project with professional scientists Oxford Dictionary Citizen science is a method of integrating public outreach and scientific data collection locally, regionally, and across large geographic scales. Cooper et al. 2007

5 Background Brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) Major agricultural pest Nuisance pest Citizen science/crowd-sourced data Mapping

6 Water pump 1854 Cholera outbreak in Soho district of London Physician John Snow

7 Objectives Utilize mapping to visualize crowdsourced reports of brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB) Map trap capture data of BMSB Compare trap capture data to the number of crowd-sourced reports per month

8 Materials and Methods Crowd-sourced data collected through s, letters, pictures and physical samples Throughout USA Present Bugwood Last two years Blacklight traps Year # of traps Maps for 2006, 2009, 2012 May, August, October Point density

9 # of BMSB / year Blacklight Trap Captures - BMSB

22

23 Conclusions High number of crowd-sourced reports in experienced a large increase in the number of BMSB found in blacklight traps. High number of reports in 2009 high numbers of BMSB caught in blacklight traps in the summer. However, this was not the case in The density of reports from 2006 and 2009 were located in central/northern New Jersey, reflecting the higher density of BMSB caught in traps in those areas.

38 Crowdsourced reports and Population Density NJ is the most densely populated state Varied population density throughout state 2010 Census data Calculated reports per 1000 people in each municipality Count(of reports) / population * 1000

39

40 Future directions Crowdsourced data will continue to be explored alongside trap capture data Occupancy models Presence-only data Further investigation of other contributions to rise and dip in reports

41 Inherent Problems With The Data Issues with participants Familiar with BMSB Loss of interest Natural population fluctuations Population densities
